Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

Are you looking for a secret to younger-looking skin? Well, the answer is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), which is also known as PRP and “vampire facial.” In this facial, we basically use your body’s own platelet-rich plasma to refresh and rejuvenate your skin from within. 

At Risson Medical Aesthetics, we combine our clinical expertise with your body’s natural healing factors to treat various skin concerns. The best part is that it can be done without using harsh chemicals or surgery. 

This treatment is safe for all skin tones and particularly beneficial for women who believe in long-term skin investment and not quick two-minute fixes.

Why Is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Used in Aesthetics?

To put it in simpler words: PRP works with your body, not against it.

When you opt for this facial, you are basically opting for a natural way instead of relying on synthetic chemicals or invasive techniques.

Here’s why it’s so widely trusted and used in aesthetic care:

1.    It’s All Natural—And All Yours

PRP is made from your own blood, so there's very little chance of allergic reactions or rejection. This makes it a safe and natural choice for people looking for clean options to refresh their skin.

2.    Collagen Activation at Its Core

After being applied or injected, PRP helps skin cells, such as fibroblasts, make more collagen and elastin. These two proteins are important for keeping your skin firm, smooth, and looking youthful. That’s why it’s often considered one of the best collagen-boosting treatments in Brooklyn.

3.    Handle All Skin Concerns

If you're struggling with acne scars, dark spots, fine lines, or dull skin, PRP has shown that it can tackle and help you get rid of all these issues.

4.    Cellular Repair & Renewal

The growth factors in PRP help your skin cells heal and renew themselves faster. This leads to better skin texture, a more even skin tone, and a brighter, fresher appearance over time. You can achieve a smoother, younger-looking complexion naturally.

Why Choose PRP Over Botox or Fillers?

Natural Clean Look: No risk of looking “overdone.” PRP helps your skin look better naturally without changing how your face looks, so you’ll still look like yourself, just more refreshed.

Glow and Rejuvenation is not Localized: The best thing about PRP facials is that they improve overall skin quality, not just one area. Injectables target specific spots, but PRP can improve the overall look, brightness, and strength of the whole area being treated.

No Tolerance or Invasive Issue: Since PRP facials are non-invasive, they are safe to use repeatedly without any tolerance issues. You can have PRP treatments regularly without worrying about becoming resistant or dependent on them like you might with some injectable treatments.

Perfect Choice for Beginners: A good choice for “first-timers.” If you're new to aesthetic care and want a low-commitment starting point, PRP is gentle, gradual, and non-invasive.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the PRP facial painful?

Not really. Most clients say it feels a little uncomfortable, especially when paired with microneedling, but they feel the results are worth it. We use numbing cream to help reduce any pain. The whole process is safe, natural, and done by our trained medical staff.

Can PRP help with under-eye circles or hollowing?

Yes, PRP is often used to target delicate areas like the under-eyes. It improves crepey texture, reduces dark pigmentation, and encourages natural volume restoration.

What does the PRP actually do once it’s applied to the skin?

PRP contains a high concentration of platelets that release growth factors—proteins that signal your body to regenerate skin tissue, produce collagen, improve circulation, and repair damage.

How soon can I wear makeup again after a PRP Facial?

It is recommended to wait for at least 24–48 hours before applying makeup to allow your skin to heal and breathe. Follow personalized post-treatment guidelines for optimal results.

How long does it take to see results?

The results of PRP develop gradually, so you can expect to wait several days or even weeks to see the full effects.
